  • Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
  • Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel).
  • Pop the potatoes onto a lined baking tray.
  • Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
  • When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.

  • Meanwhile, roughly chop the chives (use scissors if you prefer). 
  • Zest half lemon (per 2P). Chop into quarters. 
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Trim the tip of the broccoli. Chop head into small florets and stem into 2cm pieces.
Cook the Broccoli
3
  • Pop the broccoli onto a separate lined baking tray.
  • Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
  • When the potatoes have been in the oven for 15-20 mins, pop the broccoli onto the middle shelf.
  • Roast until the edges are crispy and slightly charred, 10-15 mins.
Fry the Fish
4
  • Meanwhile, place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Season the salmon with salt and pepper.
  • Carefully place the salmon into the pan, skin-side down. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw fish.
  • Cook, skin-side down, for 4-5 mins.
  • Turn over and cook for 3-4 mins on the other side.

  • Add the chives, paprika, garlic and 1 tbsp butter (per 2P) to the pan.
  • Squeeze in the juice of two lemon wedges (per 2P).
  • Cook, continuously spooning the chive butter sauce over the fish, for 1-2 mins. IMPORTANT: Fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.
  • Once cooked, remove the pan from the heat.
